  Figgywiglet looked up the courthouse and mentioned it's a municipal court for civil suits and family court misdemeanor cases, not criminal.

  I wonder if he's been served divorce papers or something and it's the return address? LOL

  Then in a few months make some fake disappointed video saying how the authorities decided not to pursue the case because violent crime is up there so they just don't have time... but they said they will look into it when things slow down. Bet.

  Followed by "so once again I need your help, my loyal patreons ... please, dig deep and give me all the money you can, because Lloyd needs to take care of his girls"

  (admit it, you can picture his droning / pleading voice saying those exact words with that "fake earnest" inflection)

  What crimes were committed? If quoting, repeating, paraphrasing or otherwise mentioning what James Lloyd Evans has already said is a crime then we should all be on that list.

  Yes, notice he's never pointed to anything and neither has his "lawyer" even when specifically asked.

  This is all a smokescreen, bravado to try and convince the few who still follow him that he's "so much poor victim", instead of the obnoxious bully that has been harassing people and dividing the exJW community for years.

  Of course he's so short sighted and full of his own ego that he's incapable of thinking ahead of what the implications are when this all comes to nothing.

  He thinks it will scare people off and all go away. It won't. It's going to be a mill-stone round his fat neck for the rest of his life, or at least until he pisses off from ours.

  Every time he tweets I think of this song. Some of the lyrics are pretty applicable too:

  I also wonder why he doesn't show the whole page. Could this be another attempt at pretending he is doing something? I guess we will all know soon enough.

  Yeah, is that meant to scare someone? I may as well be a photo of a junk-mailing label.

  Oh no, oh my god, it's ... it's ... an address!!! (feints)

  This reminds me of something, I think it may have been someone who posted a photo of an envelope with the WTS address on claiming it was proof of some lawsuit or crime. Something mental.

  The way most systems / algorithms work are open to abuse by organized groups. If he gets enough of his zombie followers to mark something as abusive, the system will likely remove it.

  Amazon don't care about the integrity of their system. Most of the reviews are BS and bots anyway, and many of the products they sell are fake - they just want the $$$

  PIMA sitting on the fence

  technically, an atheist is someone who doesn't believe in a god, while an agnostic is someone who doesn't believe it's possible to know for sure that a god exists..

  PimoElder - please stop copy-pasting entire messages, especially parts of the rest of the page, just copy the TEXT that you want to quote, and use the quote button to highlight it.

  Be selective. Less is more.

  And to decide to be PIMI because you don't know and can't decide is illogical and frankly plain dumb - you're spending resources and time, our most precious asset, on something you don't know if it's of any value?

  You can't prove that I am not god and testing you right now ... demanding that you send me $10,000 USD. By your logic, you should send it because you just don't know and "better safe than sorry?". You're not accounting for the cost, there is always a cost.

  What we do know is that people that want you to do something for them, without recompense, based on "maybe something good might happen to you in the future ... but from someone else" are usually scammers and fraudsters. Religion is just a government sanctioned, tax deductible scam.

  He was firm in his denial, all but accusing them of wanting to distribute it illegally.

  But I heard as long as you gave it away, it wasn't violating copyright?

  Oh wait, that was Lloyd wanting to pirate someone else's book. Different rules for his own ...

  And at some point, when he's run off all of the Michele Birch's out there, he'll complain bitterly about how no one wants to support him, how exJWs live only to see him crumble and fall.

  He thinks we're all jealous of him. Yeah, 'cause we all want to be failed husbands and failed men who can't please their wives and have to visit hookers to get their jollies. The sure sign of "manliness" (not).

  So slovenliness is the new middle fingered salute to WT? Or is it to the audience at large? Refusing to adhere to basic standards of grooming and cleanliness is not a compromise of one's "journalistic" integrity.

  I think Lloyd lives in simplistic exJW world, which to be fair way too many others also occupy (which may explain why he still has support). In this world what the says WTS is always automatically views as bad, so you live opposite to whatever they say. If they say to brush your hair, dress smartly and appear respectable, you don't. If they say be faithful and honest to your partner, you sleep with hookers. If they tell you to eat healthy and exercise, you do your best to look like a sweaty potato.

  How else would people know you hate the WTS so much? Obviously, you keep their books in pristine condition in a glass case, with lights to show them off, and you use their language and behavior at every opportunity, even naming tiers of your patreon subscriptions after their beliefs, because you don't want to distance yourself too much!

  After all, the point of opposite-world is really about the excuse it gives you to behave like a slime-ball, while claiming you can't help it because you were brought up in a mildly conservative religious family like many millions of other people who are living happy lives in successful marriages.

  Lloyd failed as a JW, he failed as an elder, he failed as a husband and he's failing as an exJW "CSA activist". Heck, he even failed with his "I'm taking a break" non-apology because he now fails to manipulate people anymore.

  wt has really been doing a great job at mind-controlling their members.

  how can people who say they are your friends not even want to know why you're leaving when you want them to know?!

  eh!

  The expression "having no natural affection" refers to the natural love that members of the same family have for each other.

  Ironic that it's the one characteristic of JWs, that they will turn their back on their family in a heartbeat if the GB demand it.
